So Graham Norton earned an absolute fortune last year

There's big bucks to be made from tossing audiences members out of a red chair.

The Graham Norton show has evolved into a flagship programme on the BBC - so you'd imagine that the Irish presenter can command quite a fee. And you'd imagine exactly right. Last year, Norton pocketed a cool £2.5 million between his salary and additional fees for his work on the Eurovision, for example. According to The Guardian, Norton's own production company, So Television, is also raking in the bills, making almost £12 million pounds in the last fiscal year. Nicely done, Graham.
